[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] rte_bus_pci: remove unneeded library dependency.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] rte_bus_pci: remove unneeded library dependency.

[Seth Howell]

The makefile in drivers/bus/pci specified rte_ethdev as a dependency for
the library. However there are no actual symbols from librte_ethdev used
in librte_bus_pci.

Including librte_ethdev as a dependency only becomes a problem in some
niche cases like when attempting to build the rte_bus_pci library as a
shared object without building the rte_ethdev library.

I specifically ran into this when trying to build the DPDK included as
an SPDK submodule on a FreeBSD machine. I figure that since there are no
real dependencies between the two, we should enable building
librte_bus_pci without librte_ethdev.

At a first glance, this patch seems valid, Gaëtan, could you have a look ?
Could be worth a Fixes:.

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes this is fine.
I've checked, when this Makefile was introduced first in v17.11, this
dependency was not needed either. This means the Fixes: can go back to c752998b5.
